Dees 64

You guys are in la la land about Campbell. Will never play senior footy again.

Think you are right, Good Gamble , Just did not come through

These r all good signs, but with 6 teams already having byes they are not exactly totally true stats. But again are promising.

Playing the GCS also makes the stats look good.

But, at least to be considered

Watts takes a good contested mark, then fluffs a kick to gift Swallow a goal. See you at Casey.

Watt at Casey Reserves ?

Watts on ... first kick

Who's on second.

Boom, boom ...

Watts Great Mark , a turnover by Watts and GCS Goal

Struggling to win the quarter against this mob although hitting the post four times doesn't help!

Good to see Aaron Davey in the goals.

No Grunt

No Game Plan

No Nuts

No Mungrel

No Anything

Lucky we are playing a team of kids.

Thank God No Ablet or Brown

They would have overtaken us by now

Bailey has no Clue how to REV up and position a side to beat a team of KIDS

First team ever to be headed by Gold Coast.

Humiliated already.

Had many calls from friends , calling us a CLOWN, Joke, side

My Summary , I work with KPI's daily

Clearances Bad to non existant

Ball out of the center Bad

Kick out from behinds Bad

Forward Pressure Does not exist

Skills Very poor

Young Player development ?

Senior Players showing leadership Non-existant

Coach and his FD Team Does not seem to be getting the best out of the players

Attempt to attain 40,000 members Great, the FD is not helping

Game Day dropouts Will occur when we dont see any improvement

The Filth Have developed a great, FD, Coach, Game plan, and will go back to back, (now that sucks)

Of course we can. I can't believe so many think it's beyond us.

At full strength Hawthorn are formidable side, but they are far from full strength. With so many outs they are just an average side.

A very average side.

Comparitively we have lost very little.

This is a 2 horse race and I think we start favourite.

Those being fooled by preseason form need their head checked.

I would love to see as get close...

From what I have seen pre season, the type of football we are playing and spaeking from the heart ... 30 to 40 points loss

For goodness sake, it's the first quarter of the NAB Cup.

We're not going to start this suicide crap all over again, are we?

We were never going to improve out of sight in one season. It's going to be a slow process, so enjoy the ride and stop with the panic. I almost forgot how painful this place is whenever we play poorly!

Just stupid game plan.

We are the same as last year

Pavlich and Balantyne are loving it

After hearing some nice reports over the summer and hoping for a decent contest tonight

well I guess we are going to battle getting out of the bottom 4

Another goal now and we are 27 points behind this isn't looking good early

Knowing a whole year of this is making me Sick

Worst side so far in the Nab Cup

How about 12 weeks?

Love My Dees

BUT

Bring on the World Game any time and Boost Melbourne

I love Chris Connolly, he's awesome.

Not only is he a "Top bloke", now he's come out a few days before the draft and fired a rocket up Ball's arse, saying if we want you, you can talk the talk but we'll damn well take you and there's nothing you can do about it. You'll play footy for us and you'll like it and you'll give clubs that aren't Collingwood the respect they deserve.

Even if we don't end up taking Ball with those picks, at least we look ruthless and we look to be getting what we want, and not kowtowing to anybody.

Great Work CC , It will hurt them, take him or leave him we win,

PUTs the MFC on the Map

Still gutted.

Will be hating the fact that come the first game we play v Carltank that a heap of idiots will boo Chooka.

I will never BOO a former MFC player, I just wish them well when not playing against us.

Jolly, Thompson, Travis, Farmer, Woey and even Chris Johnson, they wore the RED and Blue and we loved them.

Good Luck Chooka.

newsflash '45hotgod16' the players you mentioned are all young players, or players that have recovered from injuries i.e Moloney. They havent even blossomed, just shown potential. Maybe im just grumpy watching my mates who support Geelong win another flag but honestly why is there so much positivity on demonland we suck. It's as if we are entering into a new dawn of success. The only teams we have beaten recently are [censored] like Richmond, or are an interstate team playing at the G. DB is basically copying the hawks and Clarkson managed to win 9 games in his second season, we won four. Believe it or not im trying to remain positive but im struggling, Dean Bailey even told Mclean were 4 to 6 years away from success. Bloody Matthew Knights has already got the dons to the finals. Also to finish my rant just because there a young player doesnt necessarily mean they are going to be a star, something which demonlanders seem to assume

Agree with you

ND and the Footy Department took us from a 2000 Grand Final team to a rabble in 2007, we have since rebuilt but with young untried kids who might not be good at all. We assume that all our draft picks will stand up.

We have 1 A Class player ( who still has not signed), several B Graders and many young kids who many of keep building up as superstars of the future.

If Losing games to get Picks 1 and 2 was DB plan thats fine , but lose with some quality game plan. I did not see anything special on game day, lucky LJ stepped up and took the pressure of our week game plan.

Dees must show something, my family refuse to watch a game knowing that losing is a want to or just simply we are not good enough. I hope the losing culture has not set in.

Our seats at the MCG are mostly empty now, I can see a naked ground in the next 2 years if we dont show someting soon.

Lets Hope DB gets it right, I would love to see his Powerpoint Presentation to the Board. It must be brilliant.

This is such a sad post, but reflective of everyone at this club's current attitude. We want to lose. We think one player taken at the top of the draft will save us. We are playing kids who are learning that 'near enough is good enough' attitude is what is done at this club.

I am not part of the neo-tank faction at this club. It sickens me. It sickened me when Carlton did it and I have zero respect for them. This club is now losing my respect and any grain of respect any opposition supporter had left for us.

Its tragic.

I think its sad because there was nothing much on the ground today to take us into the future.

No pottential champions, stars, game winners , leadership, smart player type etc.

My 3 slight positives, Sylvia, Martin and Morton.

Bartram, PJ, Miller, Newton, Junior .... bad

Those that believe a Picks 1 and 2 are very disollussioned.

Why? We are getting SMASHED by a side who are on par with us basically.

We are bad

what makes you think we will win next week? I think Melbourne won't win another game now. There is zero spirit left in this team now. And can you Blame them when everyone wants them to lose. What a pathetic system this is.

I had a BBQ for All the kids , cousins and friends who support us, to watch the game on FOX , they have gone outside .... refused to watch this rubbish

I am going to play my game, horrible game to watch, Mcnamara only thing that made me stay till half time.

Please finish this season now.

PJ , Junior, Newton, Miller,

Sad , really sad,

I reckon Buckley will go to a club that is financial, meaning spends big $$ on their football dept. Coming from Collingwood where they spend bucketloads, he will want to give himself every opportunity to succeed which may mean a richish club that is willing to put in place exactly what he wants.

Melbourne can't do, not yet anyway, no way the roos can, not sure if the tigers can but they would probably be willing to go bust trying. I reckon if he goes anywhere it will be the pies.

All that being said though, whoever could turn Melbourne or probably more so with their following, the tigers around would be made a god, which could appeal to him also.

Wouldnt mind him as an assistant but not sure if he would want that.

Great Post ... shows passion.

Buckley anyday, will bring the dollars , the crowd, the experience of an A Grade Cap/Brownlow and champion,

He cannot be worse than DB

DB will have had 3 years to show a win loss ratio improvement, I think we as supporters would like some wins during the year.

So far 4 in 2 years is nothing to write home about. I cannot see us winning more than 3 games this year and not more than 4 in 2010. No matter how bad the list was we should have seen some improvement by now. I now know we are bad, and not even a G Lyon in 2011 will help but it could get us in more sponsors and with some luck a couple more wins.

a bit harsh mate, the guy is allowed to post what he wants, u have a crack then and see how people reply to yours!!!

Bails looks like the favourite, but if we are rock bottom come end of 2010, I would prefer someone else.

31,450

Cold, Rainy on Foxtel,

Not a game where you can ask a non Dee supporter/friend to come

25,000 maybee

So who is Finally going to show us the "True Picture" of how stuffed our Finances are. I want to know the Truth and as a paid up member for 2009 think i deserve such info. C'mon MFC show some balls. We can turn it around like the Hawks but first we need Honesty.

Gardiner & co it seems really buggered things up didn't they....they are all so quiet.

Gardner has left the Building, left it up to Jimmy, not 1 word from our former Presidanti explaining the biggest loss the club has had for years.

Its sad knowing that we might not have a club to follow in a couple of years.

I never thought much of Gardner .... alot of talk and knowing to show for it.

Pick one - Watts

Pick one pre season - Rob Warnock

Trade - Sylvia for Alwyn Davey

Delist - Weetra, Meesen, Bode,

Retire - White, Yze, Holland,

Possible Trade (whatever we can get) - Carroll, Bell,

and then use the draft accordingly.......

I think not a bad outcome for us to be honest!!

Alwyn Davey has proven himself, Sylvia is a 5 year (no 3 Draft) player not proven. Bummers will not fall for it

Sign Said

Season DEERAILED now getoff our groud
